After his move away from Pride Park, Moxey played for Palace and Bolton Wanderers, before rejoining Exeter last summer.

In his column for Devon Live, Moxey spoke about his experiences of transfer deadline day, including his move from Derby to Palace.

Moxey said: “Transfer deadline day has become and bigger over the last few years and, like everyone else, I enjoy following last Wednesday’s events on Sky Sports and all the apps.

“In years gone by, I think players sometimes got to hear what was going on before it became common knowledge, but these days the media is all over everything and I don’t suppose we know a whole lot more than the next man.

“My only experience of being involved in a deadline day move came back in January 2011 when I moved from Derby to Crystal Palace.

“I’d just signed a new contract at Pride Park and it all came out of the blue but the Rams needed the money. Fortunately, it was all sorted very quickly and it turned out to be the best move I ever made.

“Dougie Freedman’s side were struggling at the wrong end of the Championship when I joined them, but within 18 months we were promoted to the Premier League.

“As you might imagine, it was a dream come true.”
